Alice on the other side

I'm halfway through forgetting you
and not sure what to make of
the way you still peel my skin
until I disappear

And when we kissed you turned to mist
and whispered in my ear

I'm not quite sure about your meaning
I couldn't dream, I'm done with dreaming
You laughed and said it wouldn't last
and walked back through the looking glass

I heard your laughter in the air
but when I looked, was no one there

I'd walk up walls and claw the doors
if you didn't leave your key
so I'm spending all my nights in dazes
still tracing your outline against me

When we kissed you turned to mist
when you laughed I fell apart
now I'm picking up the pieces
of my broken-mirror heart
